13 here.
i have lived in this house 30 years in two months.....and always wondered why the upstairs bedroom was always cold.. even with 12 foot of hot water baseboard heat.
well, i figured it out last night. i never opened the air flow vents...
i dropped my phone and it bounced over to near the baseboard and i looked at them thinking something aint rite.. then it hit me.. opened the vents and within 1/2 hour the room went from 64 degrees to 73 degrees.

Fantastic February One New Jersey, Charlie, Tom, Wolf, Ken and all the crew. Started at 11° in my WV woods, now far more sun than predicted and 23°. But the wind chill is 13°. But on a positive note, the Soothsayers say Monday will be about 36° causing a heat wave and maybe a Thong Day cleaning the yard!

Charlie, the Robins you have are not mine. We still have out over abundance of them and Cardinals. I am guessing you have the North and Sounh Carolina birds who fled the storm. Lee in SC, formerly one of Pat Omaha Nebraska crew said 15° and 2 or 3 inches of Sheet!

Anyway, I think a delegation was making their way to PA to have a discussion with the Rodent to get his act together or else!!

OH, 46 days and 20 hours to the meteorological Spring!

Good afternoon Charlie and friends,

Started the day at 34° had a high of 44° of all things the Robins have not returned here yet. Lot's of little bird and a couple of Red Tail and a couple Cooper Hawks hanging out all winter, but no Robins.

Charlie, Did you ever get that Big Honda snow blower?

Here where I live we don't normally get below zero, I have seen lots of single digits but rarely below zero.
